without realizing it

The Dragons on FIRE

Notes

5 June 2022

The Dragons on FIRE are a couple living in the United States, both born in the year of the Dragon.

Dragon Gal has been retired almost five years and Dragon Guy for two-and-a-half years, even though they’re only in their forties.

And here’s the kicker: they reached financial independence without even knowing it!

We went deep into the personal side of financial independence and retiring early: the relationship between health and wealth, how to design a career that allows you to travel, how to deal with guilt, loneliness and sadness in early retirement, and how to handle suddenly spending so much more time together as a couple after early retirement.

You can connect with The Dragons on FIRE on their web site thedragonsonfire.com and you can follow them on Twitter @DragonGuyAndGal.
